II. ALEXANDER MONRO, who was born in London on the 19th of September, 1697. He was educated at Edinburgh, and received the best education which that city was able to afford. He was afterwards sent by his father to London, where he attended the anatomical lectures of Dr Chalmers, and subsequently pursued his studies in Paris, and under the celebrated Boerhave, at Leyden.

Returning to Edinburgh in the autumn of 1719, he was appointed Professor of Anatomy. In 1720, on the advice of his father, he delivered a series of public lectures on Anatomy; and Dr Alston, who had accompanied him to Leyden in 1716, also on the suggestion of Dr Alxander Monro's father, began a series of lectures on Materia Medica and botany. His father communicated to the physicians and surgeons of Edinburgh, as already indicated, a plan for having the different branches of physic and surgery regularly taught at Edinburgh; and by their interest Professorships of Anatomy and Medicine were instituted in the University of that city. To complete his scheme, subscriptions were solicited for the establishment of a hospital, and considerable sums were received, chiefly through the exertions of Lord Provost Drummond of Edinburgh, and Dr Alexander Monro, who wrote a powerful pamphlet pointing out the great advantages of such an institution. The result was the founding of the Royal Infirmary, Lord Provost Drummond and Dr Alexander Monro being appointed a committee to superintend its erection; and on it being opened, the latter delivered a series of clinical lectures in it for the benefit of the students. Thus was commenced at Edinburgh that regular course of instruction which obtained for the Medical School of that city the reputation of being the best in the world.

Dr Monro was elected in 1721 the first Professor of Anatomy in the College of Edinburgh, but he was not received into the University until 1725, when he was inducted along with the celebrated mathematician Colin Maclaurin. He held the Professorship for 34 years, and was a F.R.C.P.E. and F.R.S.G.E. In 1726 appeared his "Osteology, or Treatise on the Anatomy of the Bones," which, during his life, passed through no fewer than eight editions, and was translated into several foreign languages. In the later editions he added a concise description of the Nerves, and of the Lacteal sac and Thoracic Duct. A society having been established at Edinburgh by the Professors and other practitioners of the city, for the collection of papers on professional subjects, Dr Alexander Monro was appointed secretary, and under his active superintendence six volumes of "Medical Essays" were soon published, the first of which appeared in 1732. Of the papers in this collection many of the most valuable were written by Dr Monro, dealing with anatomical, physiological, and practical subjects. When the society afterwards extended its membership to gentlemen eminent in literature, philosophical as well as medical papers were received. Dr Alexander Monro was appointed one of the Vice-Presidents, and furnished several valuable contributions to the two volumes, entitled "Essays--Physical and Literary," of its Memoirs, published by the Society. In 1759 he resigned the anatomical chair to his yhoungest son, Dr Alexander Monro Secundus, so styled to distinguish him from his father, who was always designated Primus, but the father still continued his clinical lectures at the Infirmary.

He published in all fifty-two works on medical science, among which are -- "Osteology, or a Treatise on the Anatomy of the Bones," 1726; "Essay on Comparative Anatomy," 1744; "Essay on the Art of Injecting the Vessels of Animals," 1731; "Essay on the Articulation, Muscles, and Luxation of the Lower Jaw," 1731; "Improvements in Performing the Operation of the Paracentesis, or Tapping of the Belly," 1731; "Observations--Anatomical and Physiological, wherein Dr Hunter's Claim to some Discoveries is examined," 1758; "Account of the Inoculation of Smallpox in Scotland," 1765; "Remarks on Chalybeate Waters," 1731; "Histories of the Cure of Lymphatics Opened in Wounds," 1736; "Histories of Succesful Indulgence of Bad Habits in Patients," 1736; and "Proofs of the Contiguity of the Lungs and the Pleura," 1756.

A collected edition of his works, including several essays left in manuscript, was published by his third son, Dr Alexander (Secundus), at Edinburgh, in 1781, with a life written by his second son, Dr Donald Monro, prefixed.

He married on the 7th of October, 1725, Isabella, third daughter of Sir Donald Macdonald, eleventh Baron, and fourth Baronet of Sleat, known among the Highlanders as "Domhnull a' Chogaidh," or "Donald of the Wars," because of the conspicuous part he took at Killiecrankie under Dundee, and afterwards under the Earl of Mar in the Rising of 1715, for which he was attainted, with issue, who arrived at maturity--

1. John, his heir and successor...

Dr Alexander Monro, "Primus", died on the 10th of July, 1767; his widow surviving him until the 10th of December, 1774. He was succeeded by his eldest son, III. John Monro...

«i»Munro, Alexander (1733-1877) Third in a remarkable line of medical Munros, Alexander Munro was the son of an equally famous namesake, who also held the Chair of Anatomy at Edinburgh University. The son, however, was more eminent in research; he made highly significant insights into the order of the lymphatic system and the structure and functions of the nervous system. He had an elder brother who was an eminent London physician. Alexander Munro (Secondus) was succeeded in the Chair of Anatomy by his son, Alexander Munro (Tertius) who ended a remarkable dynasty of Munros spanning 126 years in the Chair of Anatomy at Edinburgh University.
